Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Well, after a long day of diddling altar boys, it's nice to unwind with a little creative embezzlement, I suppose.

Remember Jabberwocky?

The Bishop was DELIGHTED that the monster terrorizing the countryside had increased attendance and tithing.....

Proof there is much truth in Brit humor...

Maybe Joe can shame them into giving it back. What does he have to lose? They already don't like him.

Does this surprise anyone?

Joel Osteen, who owns a multi-million dollar mansion, and pays bo taxes, got $4 million in Covid aid from Trump.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That reminds me of an anecdote in Innocents Abroad in which Mark Twain and his friends are viewing the jewel-bedecked, mummified remains of a famous Catholic bishop. Twain remarked that there was enough wealth on that corpse to feed every starving beggar in Rome for the next several years.

The church makes a fortune from people thanking god for catching covid!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
